Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I've started wearing padless bibs in the last two weeks (pad wore out on my tights so I just unpicked the stitching and removed) - so much better than padded. Means I can wash them once a week instead of all the bloody time.
Have not noticed any fit issues at all - sounds like nonsense to me.

Was told today that Imperial Wanker status finishes on 01/01/15. So long free coffees.

My Rapha winter tights w/pad are certainly very compressive.

Designed following a direct request from Team Sky to have tights with a pad stitched in.

RCJLT tights all have pads stitched in from what I've seen, too.

all about padded tights over padded bibs, never too much pad

The sportive rider's 'yo dawg' method.

I just lost my Rapha deep winter gloves. I left them on a bollard on Neal St today.

If anyone picked them up with the good heart to find the rightful owner, then I'll swap them for a box of cheese from my shop as reward.

My hands are so cold right now.

WTF?

Check out the bidding history on that hat. All normal prices until a user with zero feedback bangs in a massive bid after 4 days of stagnation. I smell a rat

who places a £102.99 max bid on an used rapha hat?

haha

also if anyone at rapha is listening start fucking replying to my emails

I had a reply within the hour each time I emailed them last week and yesterday

They probably hate you and are currently laughing at you.

...start fucking replying to my emails please.

ftfy

i'm pretty sure they already hate me but seeing as i'm paying them we're even.

also happy to invest in giro in the future.

I said please but that was last wednesday I think. Also said please the next day. And again sent a nice please today in the third mail.

now i'm saying fucking respond to my mails here. :)

I use a email system at work which bumps an entire chain to the bottom of the inbox when a new mail is received.

It's Christmas, give them a break. I'm sure they'll get back to you.

they did already.

strange coincidence though.. this close to my rant.

Do Rapha make tinfoil hats?

Or plastic sheets?

They might do them both in a bundle

Special lfgss bundle with a "Why do I have to pay for postage" tea towel?

Tea towel? A pack of tissues may be more fitting.

wet wipes :)

This is a good one asweel! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rapha-Lombardia-LTD-Jersey-L-/281520464743?pt=UK_Cycling_Clothing&hash=item418bed6367
